The Hecate Sisters: Difference between revisions

Line 17:

* The Magi computers from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'' are built upon these aspects of Ritsuko's mother Naoko Akagi: her as a scientist, a mother, and a woman. {{spoiler|In ''End of Evangelion'', Ritsuko tries to self-destruct NERV to stop Gendo's plan; the Scientist and Mother sides agree, but the Woman side (who was in love with Gendo) refuses, causing a deadlock.}} Rei herself {{spoiler|embodies all three aspects at once and each specific Rei personifies them, Rei I being the Maiden, Rei II is the mostly motherly toward Shinji, and Rei III the Crone harvests all souls back to herself and completes the circle.}}

* ''[[The Five Star Stories]]'' has the three "Fatima Fates", [[Artificial Human]] sisters named after the Greek Fates, though otherwise they don't fit the pattern very well. They're all only a few years apart in age & personality-wise they're probably closer to [[The Three Faces of Eve]]: Atropos is an angry, sad wreck, Lachesis is [[The Ditz]] ([[Let's Get Dangerous|most of the time]]) & Clotho is a nervous [[Moe Moe|moeblob]]. They also have three older sisters named after the Furies, but since those threee were subjected to the same programming (read: brainwashing) as most Fatimas they have [[Flat Character|little personality to speak of]].

* Some have argued that the Theatre of Shadows in ''[[Revolutionary Girl Utena]]'' represents something like this. It features three apparently omniscient girls who impart their mysterious wisdom mixed with nonsense to the viewers in every episode. Alan Harnum's fanfic [http://www.thekeep.org/~harnums/fanfic/utena/index.html Jaquemart] plays with the idea, as the girls try to impress Anthy by claiming to be Fates, Norns and all the aspects of the Triple Goddess. Then Anthy points out that {{spoiler|there's only two of them left.}} They sheepishly back down and admit that the claim was as nonsensical as much of the rest of their ramblings.

* Inverted in the anime of ''[[Trapeze]]'': [[Cloudcuckoolander|Irabu]] is male, and his youngest incarnation is a [[Deadpan Snarker]], with his oldest incarnation being an adolescent manchild.

* The Marui triplets in ''[[Mitsudomoe]]'' slot nicely into the roles. Futaba is the maiden, Mitsuba is the mother, and Hitoha is the crone.
